Re: Is there a need for anti-virus software?
I doubt there would be any problem other than to make sure to turn off any firewalls and/or spam blockers when attempting to download or register the program, download updates, download updated databases, etc.
I've not noticed any problems running virus protection along with a firewall and the new MS spyware running in the background.
